Synopsis

Drama based on the strike of Cornish clay miners in 1913. The striking Stocker finds a strike-breaking policeman being billeted on him, but they manage to rub along, until events become violent. Striking clay workers plan to march on the clay pit where blackleg labour is being used. However, the authorities send in the specially trained squad of tough Welsh police to suppress them.
